Ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem, and Hebron, gathers pace.
Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniya on Tuesday called on Palestinians in the West Bank to "rise up" against Israel over a plan to restore two contested holy sites in the territory.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sparked outrage on Sunday when he said he hoped to include Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem and the Tomb of the Patriarchs [Ibrahimi Mosque sits above it] in Hebron in a national heritage plan.
"The decision requires a real response in the West Bank and for the people to rise up in the face of the Israeli occupation and to break every shackle in confronting it," Haniya told reporters.
"(The project) aims to erase our identity, alter our Islamic monuments and steal our history," he added.
